The incident took place at Aurora, Colorado’s Black Forest Hills Elementary School on Friday, with school faculty texting families, “This afternoon during fifth grade recess, an unidentified adult male entered the field, approached a group of students, engaged them briefly, and then exited property.”
Police officers arriving on the scene discovered the individual tried “to grab a young boy” and later found someone matching the suspect’s description nearby.
